[openssl-users] Facing issue while using -engine flag for rsa/dsa speed test in openssl-1.1.0b

[Matt Caswell]

When using the openssl command line you should put options (i.e. those
with a "-" at the front) first, followed by any other arguments.

rsa isn't an option just a normal command line argument so try:


./openssl speed -engine ../engines/dasync.so rsa

This works because "md5" is a parameter to the "-evp" option. So you
have obeyed the rule of putting the options before any other arguments
(because there are no other arguments in this case).
